Assuming complete dissociation, calculate the pH of the following solutions:
0.003 M HCl

Solution
0.003MHCl
`H_2O + HCl ↔ H_3O^+ + Cl^(-)`
Since HCl is completely ionized,
`[H_3O^+] = [HCl]`
`=>[H_3O^+] = 0.003`
Now
`pH = - log[H_3O^+] = -log(.003)`
= 2.52
Hence, the pH of the solution is 2.52.
Is there an error in this question or solution?
